An Efficient Signature Batch Verification System for VANET

In VANET (Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork), vehicles can efficiently verify a large number of signatures efficiently using batch verification techniques. However, batch verification performed independently in each vehicle raises many redundant verification cost. Although, an RSU (Road Side Unit) can perform the batch verification as a proxy to reduce this cost, it additionally requires an efficient method to identify invalid signatures when the batch verification fails. In this paper, we analyze several ways of constructing a distributed batch verification system, and propose an efficient distributed batch verification system in which participating vehicles perform batch verification in a distributive manner for a small size signature set. In our proposed system, each node can report the batch verification result or the identified invalid signatures list and the RSU who received these reports can identify the invalid signatures and efficiently exclude them
